Boulder Care vs Bicycle Health
They differ on 3 of 10 things we check. No winner here: the better one is the one that fits what you need and how you'd pay.
Boulder Care
You download the Boulder Care app, check eligibility, and meet a clinician by video who can prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone and others) or naltrexone, with a peer recovery specialist and care team you can message.
Bicycle Health
You book a video visit with a Bicycle Health clinician, who can prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone), often the same day, and you keep regular check-ins plus optional coaching and support groups.

The same for both: kind of help (a therapist), probably not for (anyone in crisis or overdose: call 911, or call or text 988), how you pay (insurance), research (limited research), privacy (grade c), sells your data (no), hipaa (yes).
In crisis or thinking about suicide? In the US, call or text 988. This page is information from our reviews, not medical advice.
